Stupid question for Tim, you have an 86 litre capacity tank ? Is this a typo ?

My FL2 tank has 68 litre capacity, has it been down sized  GS TD4 All Black

I'm getting around 38.5 mpg averaged over 4800 miles of 60/40 urban motorway and town driving with my manual TD4 and am pretty pleased with it. D3 GS Java Black TDV6 Manual

I'm only getting av average of around 34mpg at the moment...& *I* think I'm driving very fuel-concious....I used to get 40mpg out of my FL1 '57 FL2 GS
Sumatra Blk, Tints, Winterpack, Dodgylooking TowBar, roof rails, Front & Rear LED Indicators, Clear Side repeaters(Led), LED Rear Position/Brake lights, Additional Power-point in the boot & Brighter luggage Illumination fitted

Getting about 36mpg out of Emily after 2500miles. I would have to roll down a mountain to get 38.5. Just get the feeling that she does not do quite as well as Freda my old much missed TD4 3dr but by heck Emily goes like a ferret up a pipe compared to Freda. Last Sunday drove most of the day in the rain, consumption dropped by about 4mpg.
p.s. Got Emily seriously muddy today she really loved it, awesome! Should I treat her to a wash down? still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

Yeah that may be true... but which vehicle gives the better drive and comfort?  Life is not a dress rehearsal!

Just a matter of interest, I reset both the Trip Computer and Trip Recorder whenever I refill. The reason I do this is to ascertain if I am getting an improved average mpg for each refill, rather than an average from when I first collected the car from the dealer. Does anybody else do this ? GS TD4 All Black

yep, I also do that, write down all the numbers en put them in the pc which calculates the average since purchase 

I do the same and the PC keeps a records of average fuel usage per refill, it is improving every week. I do expect it to level off at about 37/38 mpg. GS TD4 All Black

my average kept going down slightly till about 7.000 miles, since it varies a bit depending on wether I drive short or long stretches
